Protection of Personal Data in Cyberspace in Light of Algerian Legislation

The field of information systems and technology has witnessed tremendous development over the past few decades across various domains, becoming an essential part of individuals' daily lives and significantly influencing how they interact with the world around them. This field has encompassed many social groups, each according to its specific needs and requirements, potentially offering benefits as well as posing challenges alike. Cyberspace in Algeria, as in other countries, is considered a double-edged sword for individuals: it carries significant benefits while simultaneous-ly opening the door to risks that threaten the privacy and security of individuals through the harmful exploitation of their personal data and unauthorized use. Accordingly, the Algerian legislator has moved to regulate this area through legislation dedicated to the protection of personal data.
